Post-Vacation Morning Links

Here’s a picture of me making the world’s teenagers and emo bands jealous. I spent the last six days in southern California doing what one does there (eating sprouts, finding Vince McMahon’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame) so if today’s posts are just big pictures of LeBron James with “uhhhhhhhhhh” under them, I apologize. Before I try to wedge myself back into the creative process, I just wanted to formally say what an amazing dude Burnsy is for holding down the ship while I was gone and making me look like a complete chump.

Oh, and also, a huge thank you goes out to Andrew Johnson and Dr. Diego McCafferty for their outstanding work filling in on The Best And Worst Of WWE Night Of Champions and The Guest And Worst Of Raw 9/19. I couldn’t have left the column in better hands, and am really happy I was swimming in the Pacific Ocean instead of writing 10,000 paragraphs about that sh*t they pulled with Alberto Del Rio. If you haven’t read these yet, give them a look and leave these guys some love.

Nancy Grace’s Cleavage Cannot Be Unseen – You know what? Real talk, I would have so much sex with Nancy Grace. It’d be like those puberty fantasies about hooking up with your mean teacher happening for real. She’d probably drink alcohol out of a Sprite can like my actual 8th grade English teacher, too.

20 Additional Albums From 1991 Cameron Crowe Should Turn Into a Documentary – You have no idea how much money I’d pay for a “Joyride” by Roxette documentary. That song features my favorite lyric ever: “C’mon, join the joyride. Be a joy ride Er.” [Moviefone]
